Please apply some kind of privacy control to external services
I think some attention could be paid to the way locations are shared outside of Brightkite. I really like the privacy levels you allow us to set for Brightkite users, but my entire home address gets sent to Twitter since I have that sharing feature turned on. I don't really want that to happen.
I'd rather stick with only allowing my trusted Brightkite friends to see my home address, and perhaps something like a location alias being sent to Twitter and other external services. So when I SMS that I'm @home, my Brightkite friends can see my full address, but maybe the Twitter message is simply "David's @home."

Inappropriate?David,
Were you in private mode when you did this? The privacy settings only apply when you're in private mode. In public mode, everybody can see all of your stuff at full accuracy.
The privacy settings apply to Twitter: Twitter is being treated the same way non-friends on Brightkite are.
The aliasing is something that we have planned.
Hope this helps.
